Second place was awarded to Diana Laura Ramirez Rivera, with the research work “Intervention for online lifestyle change during the Covid-19 epidemic on a body mass index score of Z (body mass index) in Mexican schoolchildren: a randomized controlled trial.”

On behalf of the Minister of Health, José Luis Alumia Zegara, Dr Jorge Laureano Eugenio, Director of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, emphasized that the investigation must not only be published, but decisions must be made, which is why he celebrated the winners. I invite them to continue to conduct research and achieve results that benefit all societies.

“I acknowledge young people who are known for their work. Go ahead. We must make extraordinary things out of the ordinary in our practice and I believe this research award must go so far that the results not only remain in a journal, but actually translate into transformation. I highlight Sonora’s case as one of the few that has continuity in this type of event in terms of research,” he stressed.

Young people are the innovators of new knowledge, researchers who will gradually grow and generate new information about public health, said Eva Moncada Garcia, director of education and quality at SSA. For this reason, he celebrates the continuation of the awarding of these awards in Sonora, because, in addition to elevating the state’s name, they constitute a turning point for the continuation of the investigation.

In addition to the award ceremony, the 29th Health Research Meeting “Priorities in Health and Prevention of Risky Behaviors” was held, which aims to encourage interaction between researchers and students, as well as to disseminate progress and promote the application of the results of this research in health services and social development.

It should be noted that this meeting will continue on October 27 and 28 and will be broadcast on the Facebook page of the Sonora Institute of Technology (ITSON).
